G O D or the world?

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), says: “No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon” (Luke 16:13).
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world” (1 John 2:15).

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God” (1 Corinthians 3:19).

“If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever” (1 John 2:15–17).

“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” (1 John 4:1-8).

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the [POWER OF GOD]” (1 Corinthians 1:19).

The DOOR of SALVATION.

While the door is still open, for those among us who have not already done so, come to knowledge of the truth: BELIEVE in the only SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever [BELIEVETH] in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt [CONFESS] with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt [BELIEVE] in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be [SAVED]. For [WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS]; and [WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION]” (Romans 10:8-10).

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the [POWER OF GOD]” (1 Corinthians 1:19).

Jesus Christ says: “[I AM THE DOOR]: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture” (John 10:9).

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall [NEVER SEE DEATH]” (John 8:51).

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that [HEARETH MY WORD], and [BELIEVETH] on him that sent me, hath [EVERLASTING LIFE], and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24).

Do you know the way to the PARADISE OF GOD?

In the traffic of this lifetime, there will be many roads travelled to many destinations. But, know this fact, there is only one road which leads to the Paradise of God (Revelation 2:7)!

While this road is still here today before this heaven and earth passes away (1 Peter 21:33) (Mark 13:31) (2 Peter 3:10), get hold of the coordinates to find and stay in the right direction on this road.

What are the coordinates?

There is only one man who knows the way, and he is the ONLY begotten Son of God (John 3:16-18).

“No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him” (John 1:18).

What is his name?

His name is JESUS CHRIST.

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus: who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” (1 Timothy 2:5–6).

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), says: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

D A Y OF C H R I S T – THE GATHERING.

On the day (night) of the coming of JESUS will commence the separation of those who are away from those who are not of Christ.

“NOW we beseech you, brethren, by the [COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST], and by our [GATHERING TOGETHER UNTO HIM], That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the [DAY OF CHRIST] is at hand” (2 Thessalonians 2:1-2).

Jesus says: “In that [DAY], he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

Remember Lot’s wife.

Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

I tell you, in that [NIGHT] there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, ‘Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together’” (Luke 17:31-37).

On the day and night, only God knows (Matthew 24:36) when heaven opens up to reveal a sign of Jesus (Matthew 24:30): “[THE SUN SHALL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS, AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD], before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come” (Joel 2:31).

“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in [JERUSALEM SHALL BE DELIVERANCE], as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call” (Joel 2:32).

The Apostle Paul said: “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling that ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the [DAY OF CHRIST]” (Philippians 2:12, 1:10).

NEW HEAVENS and A NEW EARTH: A WORLD WITHOUT END!

There is another world in the heavens! To get this world without end only those who BELIEVE IN and FOLLOW the only begptten Son of God will inherit ETERNAL LIFE.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever [BELIEVETH IN HIM] should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:16-17).

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he [MADE THE WORLDS]” (Hebrews 1:1–2).

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8) says: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they [FOLLOW ME]: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one” (John 10:27-30).

“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32).

“I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew 28:20).

Word of GOD is EVERLASTING.

Of all the words that have been, are now and will be in this world, ONLY the words of God are FOREVER.

Therefore, before it is too late pick up the only book and take hold of the word of God to obtain SALVATION.

“Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to [SAVE YOUR SOULS]” (James 1:21).

“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven” (Psalm 119:89).

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds” (Hebrews 1:1–2).

Jesus, the only begotten Son of God says: “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: [THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE]” (John 6:63).

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).

GOD ONLY is GOD: JESUS is the ONLY begotten Son of GOD.

A Prayer of King David.

“O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! Who hast set thy glory above the heavens. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him” (Psalms 8:1-9, 103: 11).

“Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: [THOU ART GOD ALONE]. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore” (Psalm 86:10-12).

Let us keep prayerful and faithful EVERYDAY as GOD’S Elect in the Kingdom of God to obtain the promise on the Last Day: “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the [ONLY TRUE GOD, AND JESUS CHRIST], whom thou hast sent” (John 17:3).

WAR?

A war of RIGTHEOUSNESS versus Unrigteousness; GOOD versus Evil; LIGHT versus Darkness or BELIEVERS versus Unbelievers!

Every day when we awake in this world to face another day, the war raging on this earth may not be readily apparent, but it is raging, because the Apostle Paul pointed out, saying: “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12).

“For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil” (Romans 13:3).

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: [FOR WHAT FELLOWSHIP HATH RIGHTEOUSNESS WITH UNRIGHTEOUSNESS]? and [WHAT COMMUNION HATH LIGHT WITH DARKNESS[? And [WHAT CONCORD HATH CHRIST WITH BELIAL]? or [WHAT PART HATH HE THAT BELIEVETH WITH AN INFIDEL]?” (2 Corinthians 6:14-15).

“Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light” (Romans 13:11-12).

The Apostle Paul also reminds us said: “fight the good fight,” “keep the faith,” and “finish the course” to the end (2 Timothy 4:7).

GOD is CREATOR is the FATHER and JESUS is his ONLY BEGOTTEN SON is the SAVIOR.

“‘Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?’” (Jeremiah 32:26-27).

“The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein” (Psalms 95:5, 24:1).

“For I will not contend forever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made” (Isaiah 57:16).

“And in the times of this ignorance God winked at but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent. Because he hath [APPOINTED A DAY], in which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained” (Acts 17:30-31).

“For God so loved the world, that he gave [HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON], that whosoever [BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE]. For God [SENT NOT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD] to condemn the world; but [THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED]” (John 3:16-17).

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, [BY WHOM ALSO HE MADE THE WORLDS]” (Hebrews 1:1–2).

On the APPOINTED DAY: the Last Day, the Day of Judgment, only God knows (Matthew 24:36): “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalm 9:7).

“The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved, but God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another” (Psalm 75:3, 7).

“Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness” (2 Peter 3:13).

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), says: “My
kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36).

“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32).

“I am with you alway, [EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD]. Amen” (Matthew 28:20).

“Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name” (Jeremiah 33:2).

“Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom” (Job 36:5).

“As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all” (Ecclesiastes 11:5).

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is
light, and in him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5).

“Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD” (Psalm 106:48).
